Guillaume Pierrel

Two of the world’s most accomplished ski mountaineers, Christina Lustenberger and Guillaume Pierrel, have carved their names into history with bold first descents across the globe. Now, turning their sights on Mount Robson, the highest and most formidable peak in the Canadian Rockies, they retrace the steps of pioneering alpinists who came before them, pushing the line between past and present. Battling towering walls of ice, snow and rock, unpredictable weather, and the weight of a dream that has challenged generations, their journey becomes as much about resilience and legacy as it is about the pursuit of a descent few have ever dared to imagine.

In the 1970s, pioneers explored the most beautiful mountains in the Alps and Himalayas. 45 years later, the passion remains and a group of ski mountaineers decide to return on the trail of their predecessors. The goal is to reach an altitude of 8000m and then descend by ski via the French route of 1975
